How to file an Ontario human rights application — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
File your HRTO application without retyping your contact details
An Ontario Human Rights Tribunal application asks for the same name, address, and contact details you enter on court and government forms, alongside the substance of your complaint. This guide is an example of storing the repeating identity fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official Ontario sources and always use the current version — procedures and time limits can change:
- Service page: Workplace harassment: information for workers — ontario.ca
- Tribunal: Applications are filed through the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) via Tribunals Ontario.
What this process is about
If you believe you have experienced discrimination or harassment based on a protected ground under Ontario's Human Rights Code — such as race, age, disability, or sex — you can apply to the HRTO for a remedy. The application collects your personal contact details and a description of the events.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your name, address, and contact details.
- Respondent's name and contact details (the person or organization you are applying against).
- Details of the events: protected ground, what happened, and when.
Consider contacting the Human Rights Legal Support Centre for free assistance before filing.
